Hello all,

I am looking for experiences with this method of cutlass bearing replacement, good or bad.  I have a 1 1/2" shaft, 2 3/8" OD bearing in a strut (not a log) that needs replacing.  I am a pretty good mechanic but have never tried this before.  I would likely make my own version of the tool instead of paying the $400 price tag.  It looks easy enough in their you-tube video ;-)

Thoughts?
